TO THE PUBLIC. 



\^ 



This Work is prepared and presented to the Public, owing to the great im- 
portance of the Line of Railroads crossing the Continent from different points 
of our extended country. The completion of the Union Pacific Railroad and 
Central Pacific Railroad, in May, 18(39, forming a Through Line of Travel from 
Ocean to Ocean, wiis a bright event that will be forever remembered by the Ameri- 
can jmblic. Since that period, the Southern Pacific Railroad and Northern 
Pacific Railroad, have both been commenced, the one to terminate at the Pacific 
Ocean in Southern California, and the other to extend from the head of Lake 
Superior to Puget Sound, in Washington Territory — thus atiording an International 
communication from Ocean to Ocean, via the St. Lawrence Eiver. 

The Eastern Cities tliat are mostly interested at this time in these great Avorks, 
and from whence connecting Railroads diverge, are Baltimore, Washington, Phila- 
delphia, New York and Boston; while other cities in the Valley of tlie Mississippi 
and on the shores of the Great Lakes, will be alike benefitted. 

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, Pennsylvania Central Railroad, Erie Railway 
of New York, the Boston and Albany, and New York Central Railroads, and the 
Grand Trunk P^ailway of Canada, and their connections, form the first great links 
in this Continental Line of Travel, extending from the Atlantic to Chica(40, St. 
Louis and Omaha, and from thence, crossing the Rocky Mountains, to the Pacific 
Ocean. The recent completion of the Kansas Pacific Railroad, extending 
Westward to Denver, Colorado, forms another great Through Route of Travel. 

From the principal Seaports on both Oceans, Lines of Steamers run to Europe 
on the East, and Asia on the West, thus encircling the World as with a band 
of iron — carrying civilization and commerce to every part of the inhabitable globe. 
These modes of communication, in connection with Ocean Lines of Teleg-raph, 
form the most important era in the World's history, and will, no doubt, tend to 
civilize and benefit the whole human family. 



TO THE MANAGERS OF RAILROAD AND STEAMSHIP LINES. 

Your favorable attention is respectfully called to the above Work -niiich contains much 
valuable information required by the Travelling Public, giving reliable DISTANCE TABLES 
on all the TRUNK RAILWAYS extending from the Atlantic to the Pacihc Ocean, and a 
Complete List of RAILROADS in the UNITED STATES and CANADA, Etc. 

The Work will appear early in March, 1871, and be Revised from time to time, as New 
Editions are called for. It contains about 150 pages, and will be neatly bound in muslin; 
Eetail Price, 50 Cents, from which a liberal deduction will be made when ordered in large 
quantities, either for sale or distribution. No better Advertising medium for Railroad 
Companies, Steamship Companies, and Land Agencies can be desii-ed,— -PWce per J*age, 
Twentij Dollars.

COMMENCEMENT OF RAILROADS 

IN THE 

UNITED STATES. 



It is now forty years since tlie com- 
pletion of the first Kailroad in the 
United States, several being projected 
as early as 1828. Tt) the late Henky 
S. Tanner, author of a "Description 
of Canals and Railroads in the United 
States," published in 1840, we are in- 
debted for most of the following relia- 
ble information. 

The Baltimore and Ohio Eail,- 
ROAD, the tirst important line under- 
taken, was incorporated on the 28th 
of February, 1827, by the Legislature 
of Maryland. The work was com- 
menced on the 4th of July, 1828, and 
fourteen miles opened for traffic in 1830 ; 
in 1831 it was extended to Frederick, 
02 miles, and in 1832, to the Point of 
Rocks, 68 miles, being soon thereafter 
opened to Harper's Ferry, 81 miles 
from Baltimore. Until 1831 it was 
operated by horse power. 

The Pennsylvania Railroad, 
authorized by Act of the Legislature, 
passed March, 1828, was commenced 
as a State work. It was divided into 
two divisions, and known as Phila- 
delphia and Columbia Railroad, 
81 miles in length, and the Alle- 
ghany Portage Railroad, 36 miles, 
running from Hollidaysburg to .Johns- 
town, across the Alleghany Mountains. 
The latter road had several inclined 
plains, with stationary engines to facili- 
tate the transportation of freight and 
passengers, connecting at each termini 
with the Pennsylvania Canal running 



between Philadelpliia and Pittsburgh. 
In September, 1832, twenty miles of 
single track was ready for use on the 
Eastern Division, and in April, 1834, 
the entire route, from Philadelphia to 
Columbia, was opened for travel. 
Total cost of the Philadelphia and 
Columbia Railroad, $3,754,577. 

The Alleghany Portage Rail- 
road, which was considered a great 
achievement in engineering, attained 
an altitute of 2,490 ft. above the Atlantic 
Ocean, It had one tunnel 900 feet in 
length. This important work was 
commenced early in 1831, and finished 
in March, 1834. 

The Mohawk and Hudson, run- 
ing from Albany to Schenectady, 17 
miles, was commenced in August, 1830, 
and completed in 1832, being the first 
railroad finished to completion in the 
United States ; at each termini was an 
inclined plane with stationary engines. 

The Saratoga and Schenectady 
Railroad was commenced in 1831, 
and opened July, 1832. Length, 21 
miles. 

The South Carolina Railroad 
was commenced in 1830, and 62 miles 
of it finished in 1832. In 1834 it was 
completed to Hamburg, opposite Au- 
gusta, Georgia, 136 miles; at the time 
of its completion it was the longest 
railroad in the world, being the first 
upon which a locomotive engine of 
American manufacture was used.

ACROSS THE CONTINENT. 



The Kew York and IIae-lem 
Railroad was commenced in 1831, 
and a portion of it within the City of 
Kew York opened the latter part of 
the same year. 

The Philadelphia, Geemantown 
AND NoRRiSTOWN RAILROAD, 6 miles, 
to Germantown, was opened in 1832. 
In December a locomotive was put on 
this road, built by M. W. Baldwin of 
Philadelphia. The following Adver- 
tisement was issued, dated December 
13, 1832, and inserted in a Philadel- 
phia paper: — 

Notice. — The engine with a ti-ain 
of cars, will be run daily, (commencing 
this day,) when the weather is fair. 
When the weather is not fair, the 
horses will draw the cars. Passengers 
are requested to be punctual at the 
hours of starting. Points of starting 
are at Green and Ninth streets, and 
from the Main street, the centre of 
Germantown, near Wunder's Hotel. 
Whole cars may be taken. Tickets, 
25 cents. 

The Camden and Ameoy Rail- 
BOAD was commenced in 1831, and 14 
miles, extending from Bordentown to 
Hightstown, was completed in 1832. 
It was finished from Cnmden to South 
Amboy, 62 miles, in 1834, there con- 
necting with Steamers running to the 
City of New York, 

The New Jersey Ralroad was 
commenced in 1832, and completed to 
New Brunswick, 31 miles, in 1834. 

The Philadelphia and Trenton 
Railroad, 28 miles, was completed 
in 1833. 

The New Castle and French- 
TOAVN Railroad, connecting the 
Chesapeake and Delaware Bays, was 
completed in 1832. 



The Washington Branch of the 
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, 31 miles 
in length, was opened in 1835. 

The Richmond, Fredericksburg 
AND Potomac Railroad was opened 
from Richmond to Fredericksburg, 
Va., in 1837 ; and, in 1838, the Rich- 
mond AND Petersburg Railroad 
was completed. 

The Philadelphia, Wilmington 
and Baltimore Railroad, 98 miles, 
was opened its wliole length in 1838, 
— with other roads forming a tlirough 
line of Railroad from New York to 
Washington. 

The Wilmington and Weldon 
Railroad, 162 miles in length, was 
opened in 1840; and, in 1843, the 
Petersburg and Roanoke Rail- 
road was finished, forming a continu- 
ous line of Railroad from the Potomac, 
at Acquia Creek, to Wilmington, N.C., 
and by Steamer to Washington, D. C. 

The Western Railroad of Massa- 
chusetts, now known as tlie Boston and 
Albany Bailroad, 200 miles in length, 
was opened from Boston to Albany, 
N. Y. in 1841. The Boston and 
Worcester Railroad formed a part 
of this line of travel, extending from 
Boston to Worcester, 45 miles. 

In 1842 the important lines of Rail- 
road, under different names, extending 
from Albany to Buffalo, 298 miles, was 
completed, afterwards being consoli- 
dated under the name of the New 
York Central Railroad. The 
completion of this great work, afford- 
ing a tlirough line of Railroad from 
Boston to Buffalo, was an event of 
great magnitude in the Railway his- 
tory of the country.

The Philadelphia and Reading 
Railroad, extending from Philadel- 
phia to the Schuylkill coal fields, was 
opened in 1842, being soon followed 
by other Railroads throughout the 
coal region of Pennsylvania. 

At this time (1842) there was about 
4,000 miles of Railroad finished in 
the United States ; after that period 
the growth gradually increased for the 



next eight years; in 1850 there being 
nearly 10,000 miles of Railroad com- 
pleted. In 1860 there was about 20, 
000 miles completed. For four years 
the increase was small, owing to the 
breaking out of the rebellion, but since 
its close, in 1865, the increase has been 
very rapid, there being in 1871 up- 
wards of 54,000 miles finished and in 
operation. 



RAILROAD STATISTICS.— 1871. 



The Annual figures in regard to Railway con- 
struction tbrougliout the United States have 
been made up, and show a total of 54,435 miles 
constructed in 1870. The average cost per mile 
of new road was $40,000.

RAILWAY SYSTEM OF THE UNITED STATES-187t 



The Great Trunk Railways of 
the United States and Canada, witli their 
Connections, which are made subser- 
vient to foreign commerce, flowing from 
Europe on the East and Asia on the 
West, diverge from the principal At- 
lantic ports lying within the Tempe- 
rate Zone, and extend across the Con- 
tinent to the Pacific Ocean. Other 
important Lines of Railway run from 
North to South, forming altogether a 
complete net- work system of Railroads, 
extending from the Atlantic to the 
Pacific Ocean. 

Baltimore, Norfolk, Philadelphia, 
New York, Boston and Portland, are 
the principal sea-ports from which the 
above Great Lines of commerce diverge 
and run Westward. East of the Alle- 
ghany Mountains there are now fin- 
ished five principal Trunk Railways, 
connecting with other Lines of Rail- 
road running to the Mississippi River 
and the Great Lakes. 

The Baltimore and Oliio 

Bailroail, with its Branches, forms 
the first Great Line that is finished — 
running from tide-waters at Baltimore 
and Washington to the Ohio River — 
there connecting with Railroads tra- 
versing the Valley of the Mississippi 
and the basin of the Great Lakes. In 
addition to its terminus at Wheeling, 
West Virginia, 379 miles west of Bal- 
timore, it has a Branch running to 
Parkersburg, West Virginia, and an- 
other from Cumberland, Maryland to 
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, running over 
the Alleghany Mountains, — thus mak- 
ing three important connections with 
western Railroad Lines running to the 



Mississippi River, there connecting 
with the Great Lines of Travel running 
through Kansas and Nebraska to the 
Pacific Ocean. 

The Pennsylvania Cen- 
tral Railroad forms the second 
Great Line crossing the Alleghany 
Mountains, uniting at Pittsburgh, 354 
miles from Philadelphia, with ihaPitts- 
burgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad, 
Pittsburgh, Cincinnati & St. Louis R. R., 
and all the Trunk Lines of Railways in 
the Valley of the Mississippi, and those 
extending westward across the Conti- 
nent. This Road connects with the 
Northern Central Railway, starting from 
Baltimore, and with the **Allentown 
Line," leaving New York by the Cen- 
tral New Jersey Railroad, — both uniting 
at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, — thus 
forming three Great Lines of Travel 
from the sea-board, in addition to its con- 
nection with the Philadelphia and Erie 
Railroad, — which forms, in part, an im- 
portant Line of Travel from Philadel- 
phia and New York to Erie, Pennsyl- 
vania, — there connecting with Steamers 
running to the diflbrent ports on Lake 
Erie and the Upper Lakes. 

The Erie Railway, with_ its 
Branches, is the third Trunk Line, 
forming a Through Route of Travel 
from the sea-board to the basin of the 
Great Lakes and the Valley of the Mis- 
sissippi. It starts from Jersey City, op- 
posite New York, and runs through 
the State of New Jersey and Southern 
New York to Dunkirk, on Lake Erie, 
460 miles, while Branches diverge to 
Rochester, Buffalo, Niagara Falls, S:c. 
The continuation of this Great Line

of Travel, via the Atlantic and Great 
Western Bailivay, being under one con- 
trol, forms a speedy mode of convey- 
ance from New York to Cleveland and 
Cincinnati, Ohio, — connecting with 
other Eailroads running to Chicago, 
8t. Louis, &c. 

The ^ew York and Oswego 
Micllniict Railroad, now ap- 
proaching com{)letion, will form an- 
other Through Line of Travel from the 
City of New York to the Great Lakes, 
having a double terminus, — one at Os- 
wego, on Lake Ontario, and another 
at Buffalo, on Lake Erie, — forming the 
shortest route to the basin of the Great 
Lakes and the Valley of the St. Law- 
rence River. 

The Hudson River ife 'Sew 
Tork Central Railroad, in 

connection with the Boston and Al- 
bany Railroad is the fourth Trunk 
Line extending from the sea-board ; 
forming in part a Through Route 
of Travel from the Atlantic to the 
Pacific Ocean. This important Railroad 
Route, starting from New York, passes 
up the Valley of the Hudson to Al- 
bany, and from thence through AVest- 
ern New York to Buffalo and Niagara 
Falls, there connecting with the Lake 
Shore Railroad, and with the Great 
Western Railway of Canada, making 
close connections with Lines of Rail- 
road running to Chicago, St. Louis, &c. 
The Great Line of Travel from Boston, 
westward, unites at Albany with the 
New York Central Railroad, and other 
Railroads crossing the State of New 
York, extending to the Lakes and 
Canada. 

The Grand Trunk Rail- 
way of Canada, forming the fifth 
Trunk Line, controls the Line of Travel 
running from Portland, Maine to the 



Canada Line. It extends to Quebec 
on the Lower St. Lawrence, on the 
North, and to Montreal, Toronto and 
Detroit, Michigan, on the West, con- 
necting with all the Main Lines of 
Travel running to Chicago, Cincinnati, 
St. Louis, &c. This important Rail- 
way, with its Branches, is the great 
artery that furnishes Canada with a 
speedy mode of conveyance from the 
Atlantic and Gulf of St. Lawrence to 
the Great Lakes and A'alley of the Mis- 
sissippi, — thus forming an international 
thoroughf^ire, passing through a deeply 
interesting section of the Country. 

The sixth Trunk Line, approaching 
completion, is the C'liesapeake 
and Ohio Railroad, running 
from Richmond, Virginia, across the 
Alleghany Mountains to the Ohio 
River, there connecting with Railroads 
running through the Valley of the Mis- 
sissippi, forming a short Line of Travel 
from Norfolk, on the sea-board, to Cin- 
cinnati, Louisville, Memphis and St. 
Louis, and from thence to the Pacific 
Ocean. 

The Great Trunk Railways running 
West of the Mississippi, and crossing 
the Rocky Mountains, are the Union 
Pacific Railroad and the Central 
Pacific RailrOxVd, forming a com- 
bined line of 1,914 miles of Road, ex- 
tending from Omaha to San Francisco. 
For further description, see page 100. 

The Kansas Pacific, and the Den- 
ver Pacific Railroads, 744 miles 
in length, unite with the above Great 
Line at Cheyenne, Wyoming Terri- 
tory, thus affording, in part, two Routes 
of Travel across the Continent, making 
close connections with all the Great 
Lines of Travel in the Valley of the 
Mississippi. 



96 



ACROSS THE CONTINENT. 



The Central Pacific Railroad 
which extends from San Francisco 
to Ogden, Utah, 881 miles, with its 
Branches, now has 1,025 miles of 
Road in operation, and 500 miles in 
course of construction, — covering nearly 
the whole Railroad system of the Pa- 
cific States. 

The California and Oregon 
Railway is finished from the Junc- 
tion of the Central Pacific to Chico, 
California, 96 miles, and will extend 
North to the Oregon State Line, there 
to unite with the Oregon and California 
Eailroad, to extend further North to the 
Columbia River. 

On the completion of the South- 
ern Pacific Railroad, running 
from a point west of the Mississippi 
River and extending through the 
States of Arkansas, Texas, Arizona 
and California to the Pacific Ocean, 
there will be formed a great channel 
of commerce that will benefit all the 
Southern States and Territories. 

The Northern Pacific Rail- 
road, now in progress of construc- 
tion, when finished, will form the third 
Great Line of Travel crossing the 
Rocky Mountains, extending from Lake 
Superior and the Mississippi River to 
the Columbia River and Puget Sound. 
For further description, see page 105. 



Toledo, Wabasli aii«l 
Western Railroad. —This im- 
portant Railroad starting at Toledo, 
Ohio, crosses the States of Indiana 
and Illinois and reaches out to Iowa 
and Missouri, — forming the most direct 
Route from Lake Erie to the Missis- 
sippi River, and from there to the Pa- 
cific Ocean. The Main Line runs from 
Toledo to Quincy, 111., a distance of 
476 miles. 



The completion of the Decatur and 
St. Louis Branch of the above Rail- 
way, now enables this Company to run 
their own trains direct from Toledo to 
St. Louis, a distance of 432 miles ; and 
in connection with the Lake Shore 
Railroad and the New York Central 
Railroad, forms a direct Through Route 
from Boston and New York to St. 
Louis, &c. 

The Toledo, Wabash and Westerr^ 
Railroad, now has four important ter- 
mini on the Mississippi, — Quincy, 
Hannibal, St. Louis and Keokuk, The 
new Bridge across the River at Keokuk 
affords direct uninterrupted connec- 
tion, via the Des Moines Valley Rail- 
road, with the Iowa System of Rail- 
roads, and thence to Omaha and the 
West. The termini at Quincy and Han- 
nibal furnishes a direct Route to Kan- 
sas and Colorado ; and the South ter- 
minus, at St. Louis, facilitates for com- 
peting with other Eastern Lines for the 
travel and trade of the great business 
centre of the Mississippi,— forming in 
connection with Lake Erie and the St. 
Lawrence River a direct communica- 
tion with the European ports. 

Clileago, HHrlingtoii and 

QwilBCy liailroad.- This im- 
portant Railway runs from Chicago in 
a southwesterly direction to the Missis- 
sippi River, having a double termini, — 
one at Burlington, Iowa, and another 
at Quincy, Illinois. At tlie former ter- 
minus it connects with the Burlington 
and Missouri River Railroad, and at the 
latter with the Hannibal and St. Joseph 
Railroad, — thus furnishing two great 
Routes of Travel from Chicago to the 
Missouri River; there connecting with 
the great Through Routes of Travel 
to Colorado, Utah, California, &o. 
The Main Line extends from Chi-

cago to Qiiincy, 263 miles ; the Bur- 
lington Branch, from Galesburg to Bur- 
lington, Iowa, 43 miles; the Peoria 
Branch, from Galesburg to Peoria, 111., 
53 miles; the Bushville Branch, from 
Buda to Bushville, 110 miles ; the New 
Boston Branch, from Galva to New 
Boston, 51 miles ; the Carthage Branch, 
from Burlington to Mendon, 111., 57 
miles ; the Keokuk Branch, from Bur- 
lington to Keokuk, Iowa, 43 miles; 
connecting with the Des Moines Val- 
ley Bailroad. 

At Burlington. and Quincy there are 
iron bridges over the Mississippi Biver, 
which enable Through Trains to run, 
without change of cars, from Chicago 
to Council Bluffs,. Iowa, over the Bur- 
lington and Missouri Biver Bailroad, 
and to Kansas City, St. Joseph, &c., 
over the Hannibal and St. Joseph Bail- 
road. 

Biirlington and Missouri 
River Railroatl.— This Road 
running from the Mississippi Biver to 
the Missouri Biver, opposite Omaha, 
Nebraska, forms the third Great Line 
of Travel running across the State of 
Iowa, connecting with the Union Pa- 
cific Bailroad, forming a Through Line 
of Travel to Colorado, Utah and Cali- 
fornia. 

The Nebraska City Branch, 50 miles 
in length, terminates on the Missouri 
Biver, opposite Nebraska City ; and 
the Nebraska Division extends from 
Plattsmouth to Lincoln, Neb., 55 miles. 
This Line will be extended to Fort 
Kearny, situated on the north bank of 
the Platte Biver, making a short con- 
nection with the Union Pacific Bail- 
road. In connection with the Chicago, 
Burlington and Quincy Bailroad it 
will form a direct Line of Travel from 
Chicago to San Francisco. 



Chicago and Nortliwest- 
ern Railway.— This Great Bail- 
way, with its Branches, leaves Chicago 
by three Lines of Bailroadj running 
West, Northwest and North — passing 
through the States of Illinois, Iowa 
and Wisconsin. 

Lines of Bailroad owned and opera- 
ted by this Company, are as follows: — 

Galena Division. — Chicago to 
Clinton, Iowa, 138 miles; Junction, 
30 miles west of Chicago to Freeport, 
111., 91 miles; Elgin, 42 miles North- 
west of Chicago to Bichmond, 111., 33 
miles. 

Iowa Division. — Clinton to Mis- 
souri Biver, opposite Omaha, 354 milet'. 

Wisconsin Division. — Chicago to 
Fort Howard, Wis., 242 Miles ; Bock- 
ford, 111. to Kenosha, Wis., 72 miles. 

Madison Division. — Belvidere, 111. 
to Madison, Wis., 68 miles. 

Milwaukee Division. — Chicago to 
Milwaukee, Wis., 85 miles. 

Peninsula Division. — Escanabato 
Negaunee, Mich., 68 miles, forming a 
Through Line of Travel to Lake Su- 
perior. 

The Winona and St. Peter Bailroad, 
126 miles in length, running from Wi- 
nona to St. Peter, Minn., is owned and 
operated by the above Company, form- 
ing a Through Line of Travel to Minne- 
apolis and St. Paul. Total length of 
Boad, owned and operated, about 1,300 
miles. 

Jl^^ The Trains on this Boad con- 
nect with Steamers on the Missis- 
sippi Biver on the West, and with 
Green Bay and Lake Superior on the 
North. 

Chicago, Ro€k Island and 
Pacific Railroad.— This great 
Line of Travel forming in part a direct 
Through Line of Bailroad from the At-

ACROSS THE CONTINENT. 



lantic to the Pacific Ocean, runs west- 
wardly from Chicago to Kock Island, 
111., there crossing the Mississippi 
River, by a substantial bridge, to Daven- 
port, Iowa. From Davenport thisRoad 
is extended, westward, across the State 
of Iowa to the Missouri Eiver, oppo- 
site Omaha, Neb., 494 miles from Chi- 
cago, there connecting with the Union 
Pacific Railroad,— ihw?, forming a direct 
Through Railroad Route from Chicago 
to San Francisco, — a total distance of 
2,408 miles. 

The Peoria Branch Railroad runs 
from Bureau to Peoria, 111., 46 miles. 
The Southivestern Branch, finished from 
Wilton to Ashland, Iowa, 94 miles, 
when completed will extend to Leaven- 
worth, Kansas, crossing the State of 
Iowa and the Northwestern part of 
Missouri, thus forming another Line of 
Travel from Chicago to the Missouri 
River, connecting with all the Great 
Lines of Travel running through Kan- 
sas to Denver, Santa Fe, &c. 

Pacific Railroad (of Missou- 
ri.) — This Road runs from St. Louis, 
westward, to Kansas City and the State 
Line, 284 miles, connecting with the 
Kansas Pacific Railroad; then north- 
ward to Leavenworth and Atchison, 
Kansas, 46 miles further. It is an old, 
well built, and well managed Railroad, 
offering both safety and comfort to the 
travelling public. Being on a medium 
parallel of latitude, (the 39th south of the 
Missouri River,) and forming a prin- 
cipal connecting link between the East 
and extreme West, great numbers are 
constantly passing over it, and the 
amount of passenger business done by 
this Road is nmch greater than by any 
other Railway of the same length west 
of the Mississippi. 

Through the Main Line of this Rail- 



road, its Branches to Boonville and 
Lexington, and its connections in Wes- 
tern Missouri and Kansas, immense 
quantities of produce flow into the St. 
Louis market from Missouri, Kansas 
and Colorado; and merchandise of 
great value is sent out from the same 
market to supply the wants of two or 
three millions of people. 

" It may be interesting to the trav- 
eller to know that the average speed on 
most of the Railroads of Missouri does 
not exceed twenty miles to the hour. 
If he is travelling on an express or 
mail train west of the Mississippi, he 
can approximate very closely to the 
time by dividing the distance in miles 
by twenty; the result will show the 
hours very nearly." 

Xortli Mis<iiioiiri Railroad. 

— This Road extends from St. Louis to 
Kansas City on the west, 272 miles, 
and to Ottnmwa, Iowa, on the north, 
132 miles from Moberly Junction, con- 
necting with the Pes Moines Valley 
Railroad. At Centralia, 121 miles 
North of St. Louis, commences the 
Boone County and Jefferson City Rail- 
road, extending to Columbia, 22 miles. 
At R. and L. Junction on the Western 
Division, the St. Louis and St. Joseph 
Railroad intersects the Main Line, be- 
ing operated by this Company. 

This important Line of Travel runs 
through a rich section of country, and 
connects with the Kansas Pacific Rail- 
road at Kansas City and with the Kan/- 
sas City, St. Joseph and Council Bluffs 
Railroad, at Harlem, one mile east of 
Kansas City, and at St. Joseph, 70 
miles north of Kansas City, running 
to opposite Omaha, Neb.; another 
Branch Railroad is being constructed 
from Brunswick, Mo. direct to Omaha, 
188 miles. When completed, this Eoad

in connection with others, will afibrd a 
direct comminiication with Western 
Iowa, Kebraska, and Dakota, thereby 
sucuring a portion of the growing 
trade of the upper Missouri River to 
St. Louis. The whole number of miles 
of Railroad under the management of 
this Company is over five hundred. 

Atlantic anil Pacific Rail- 
roail, (formerly South Pacific.) — 
This important Road, running from 
St. Louis across the State of Missouri, 
was commenced several years since, 
but suffered from a multitude of delays 
during its early organization. It is 
now completed to the Missouri State 
Line, 330 miles from St. Louis, and 
has become one of the great thorough- 
fares of the Southwest. The Line of 
the Road is for the most part, through 
a beautiful section of country, with a 
frnitful soil, and climate as genial as 
that of Italy. 

The Company have a charter for a 
Roadfrom Springfield, Mo. to San Fran- 
cisco, crossing the Continent near the 
35th parallel, which is considered by 
many as the shortest and most desira- 
ble as to grade, running through a fer- 
tile country rich in agricultural or 
mineral productions its entire length, 
and free from all climatic obstruc- 
tions — hence in many important re- 
spects the most desirable of any Route 
built or projected. It will run through 
the Indian Territory, New Mexico, 
Arizona and California to the Pacific 
Coast. 

A Branch Road is being builtto ex- 
tend from Pierce City, Mo. to Van 
Buren, Arkansas; a distance of 125 
miles. 

The Land Grant at the disposal of 
this Company is very large and valu- 
able. 



Kansas Pacific Hailroad. 

— Copied from "Tracy's Glide to 
THE Great We8T." This important 
Road, 038 miles in length, traverses the 
entire State of Kansas from east to west, 
a distance of 420 miles, and pushes on 
into Colorado, until it reaches Denver, 
and there assuming the name of Denver 
Pacific, goes on a hundred and six 
miles to Cheyenne, Wyoming, con- 
necting with the Union Pacific Pail- 
road, thus forming a Through Line of 
Travel from Missouri and Kansas to 
Colorado, California, &c. 

No other agency has done so much 
towards making Kansas what she is 
as the above Railroad. The present 
business over the Road is enormous. 
The cattle business alone is very great, 
and constantly increasing. Kansas is 
rapidly becoming the great source of 
cattle supply for the east. Along the 
whole Line, towns are constantly spring- 
ing up, and soon become thriving seats 
of trade. The Kansas Pacific has put 
its immense land grant into market, 
on the most favourable terms. 

Perhaps in the near future, the great 
Kansas Pacific Railway may be the 
chief thoroughfare across the Conti- 
nent. Already the Rocky Mountains 
are within its iron grasp, and should 
it decide to branch at Kit Carson, and 
sweep along the 35th parallel, its loco- 
motives will soon be whistling a wel- 
come to the Pacific Coast, — even now, 
with its present connection by Denver 
and Cheyenne, with the Union Pacific, 
a great share of the travel and traffic 
across the Continent, will undoubtedly 
take this Route. Passing through the 
beautiful valley, and over the rich 
prairies of Kansas, with the newly 
opened farms on every side, that por- 
tion of the trip is made delightful, ui.d 
as the western border of the State is 



100 



ACROSS THE CONTINENT. 



approached, exciting, by the vast herds 
of ButFalo and Antelope thronging 
along the track. After leaving Kansas, 
the Railroad passes almost due west 
through Colorado to Denver, skirting 
the edges of the noted Pine Ridges. 
Along its path through Colorado im- 
mense coal fields exists, some of the 
veins being fourteen feet in thickness. 

Kansas City, the western termi- 
nus of the Missouri Pacific and North 
Missouri Railroad from St. Louis, and 
the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad 
connecting with Chicago and Toledo, 
is the point where trains are made up 
every day for the long Route to San 
Francisco, via Denver and Cheyenne. 
But the Kansas Pacific has another 
terminus at Leavenworth City, one 
of the largest and most prosperous 
and beautiful cities in Kansas. This 
Road connects with the Main Line at 
Lawrence, another important station, 
where the Leavenworth, Lawrence and 
G'dveston Railroad unites with the 
former. 

"The Kansas Pacific Railroad 
was formerly opened to the travel and 
business of the country on the 1st of 
September, 1870. The time from Kan- 
sas City to Denver is thirty-six hours. 
Tourists and pleasure-seekers will find 
this a preferable Route, as tliey will 
have an opportunity to see the rich 
and productive Valleys of the Kansas 
and Smoky Hill Rivers, and the grand 
mountain scenery between Denver and 
Cheyenne." 

Running Southward from Denver, 
the Denver and Rio Grande Rail- 
way is being built to connect this sys- 
tem of Roads with the arable and gra- 
zing Valleys of Southern Colorado, and 
the great mineral deposits of the tribu- 
taries of the Arkansas, the Pecos, and 



the Rio Grande. This Road, at a dis- 
tance of 80 miles from Denver, reaches, 
at the foot of Pikes Peak, the cele- 
brated Soda Springs of the " Boiling 
River," which are already largely re- 
sorted to for their medicinal virtues. 
Here the mineral and grazing dis- 
tricts of the South Park have their 
outlet. 

Passing southward, 130 miles from 
Denver, it touches the town of Pueblo 
with 1500 inhabitants, and then Canon 
City with its rich coal mines ; thence 
into the Rio Grande Valley through 
the vast possessions of the United 
States Freehold Land and Emigration 
Company, which are being settled by 
General Burnside and friends, and 
near the rich Maxwell Land Co.'s 
property, — one gold mine of which 
is netting $120,000 per year to its pro- 
prietors. 

Passing through Santa Fe with some 
6,000 people, and Albuquerque with 
about 4,000 inhabitants, it will be ex- 
tended through the line of towns along 
the Rio Grande, between rich silver, 
gold and copper districts to the Mexi- 
can line, and the celebrated silver dis- 
tricts of Chihuahua. 



Usiioii Pacific Railrosid. 

— The completion of the Union Paci- 
fic Railroad, extending from Omaha, 
Nebraska, to Ogden, tJtah, a distance 
of 1,032 miles, and the Central Pacific 
Railroad, 881 miles in length, forming 
a Through Line of Travel across the 
Continent, was a bright event that will 
forever be remembered with delight 
by the American public. From Ocean 
to Ocean the most direct Route passes 
through thirteen States and Territo- 
ries of the Union, this being the main 
artery of the System of Railroads in 
the United States, from which extend 



RAILWAY SYSTEM OF THE UNITED STATES. 



101 



Branches reaching every part of our 
extended country. 

The construction of the Eoad was 
commenced in December, 1SG3; but 
no considerable amount of work was 
done till the commencement of 18G5, 
owing to the difficulties that arose in 
the location of the Line. In 1865 over 
100 miles were graded and bridged, 
and rails laid upon 40 miles. In 1866, 
265 miles of Koad were completed ; in 
1867, 245 miles; in 1868, 350 miles. 
The Road was completed to a junction 
with the Central Pacific Eailroad of 
California on the 10th of May, 1869, 
which event was duly celebrated by 
the united Companies at Promontory, 
Utah. The last tie was made of lau- 
rel wood, finely inlaid with gold and 
silver, while the spikes were composed 
of precious metals and iron. 

The Eoute for the eastern portion of 
the Line, starting from Omaha, is up 
the Valley of the Platte, which has a 
course nearly due east from the base 
of the Eocky Mountains. Till these 
are reached, this Valley presents, pro- 
bably, the most favorable Line ever 
adopted for such a work for an equal 
distance. It is not only nearly straight, 
but its slope is very nearly uniform 
towards the Missouri Eiver, at the 
rate of about 10 feet to the mile. The 
soil on the greater part of the Line 
forms an admirable road bed, while 
but few bridges are required until the 
North Platte is reached. 

The base of the mountains is as- 
sumed to be at Cheyenne, Wyoming 
Territory, 516 miles from the Missouri 
Eiver. This point is elevated 6,040 
feet above the sea, and 5,074 feet above 
Omaha. From Cheyenne to the sum- 
mit of the mountains at Sherman, 
which is elevated 8,242 feet above the 
sea, the distance is 32 miles. The 



grades for reaching this summit do 
not exceed 80 feet to the mile. The 
elevation of the vast plain from which 
the Eocky Mountains rise is so great 
that these summits, when they are 
reached, present no obstacles so formi- 
dable as those offered by the Alleghany 
ranges to several Lines of Eailroads 
which cross them before descending 
into the Valley of the Mississippi. 

After crossing the Eastern Crest of 
the mountains, the Line traverses an 
elevated plateau for about 400 miles 
to the Western Crest of the mountains, 
which forms the eastern rivi of the 
Salt Lake Basin, and which has an 
elevation of 7,500 feet above the sea. 
Upon this elevated table is a succes- 
sion of extensive plains, which present 
great facilities for the construction of 
the Eoad. From Ogden, westward, 
runs the Central Pacific Railroad. 

St. Paul and Sioux City 
^Railroad. — This Eoad runs south- 
west from St. Paul, througli the Min- 
nesota Valley to Mankato, and Sioux 
City on the Missouri Eiver, a distance 
of 276 miles, where it connects with 
the Sioux City and Coluvibus Branch 
of the Union Pacific Eailroad, now 
being constructed. When finished, this 
Line of Eoad in connection with the 
Lake Superior and Mississippi Eailroad, 
will form a Eailroad Eoute 100 miles 
'shorter to Duluth, on Lake Superior, 
than to Chicago, on Lake Michigan. 
This is one of the most important Lines 
of Eailroad that crosses the fertile 
State of Minnesota on account of its 
relations with the Union Pacific Eail- 
road and Lake Superior. Shipments 
can be made, via Lake, Eiver and Canal 
transportation, by this Eoute, to Canada 
and all the northern sea-ports of the 
United States.

liakc Superior and Mis- 
sissippi KsiilrosMlo— The Line 
of the Lake Superior and Mississi^jpi 
Bailroad runs from St. Paul, the head 
of navigation on the Mississippi River, 
to the city of Diihith, at. the head 
of Lake Superior, a distance of 155 
miles, with branches to Minneapolis 
and Stillwater. Duluth is at the ex- 
treme west end of the Lake System of the 
Continent, the terminal point of twelve 
hundred miles of continuous lake navi- 
gation from the Atlantic coast, midway 
to the heart of the Continent, and on 
the completion of the Northern Pacific 
Railroad, westward, will be within four 
days of the Pacific coast by rail, and 
within twenty days by rail and water 
of the ports of China and Japan ; and 
the territory between the lakes and the 
Pacific Ocean will soon be covered by 
an active and energetic population, 
engaged in agriculture, mining, and 
manufactures, whose products and sup- 
plies will come and go, by way of the 
Lakes, to and from the markets of the 
East and of Europe. 

The Lake Superior and Mississippi 
Railroad connects at St. Paul, its south- 
ern terminus, with the trade of the 
Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers, and 
with all the long Lines of Railroads 
now pushing rapidly westward to peo- 
ple and develop the entire region from 
Lake Superior to the Pacific Ocean ; 
which, within the limits of the State 
of Minnesota, at the close of the year 
1870, foot up 1,086 miles in operation, 
and 1,163 miles in progress of construc- 
tion, — of which 457 miles will be com- 
pleted by the close of the year 1871 ; be- 
sides 1,500 miles projected, which will 
no doubt be constructed as demanded 
by the development of the State. 

As is well understood, the course of 
trade is by way of the shortest and 



cheapest Route to markel:, and as the 
principal portion of the trade of the 
territory west of the Mississippi River 
must go, either to Lake Michigan or 
Lake Superior, it only remains to show 
what portions of country are nearer to 
each, to indicate the area tributary and 
belonging to these respective Routes. 

The distance by Rail from St. Paul 
to Chicago, is 440 miles; Duluth 155 
miles; and all Southwestern Minnesota 
and Northwestern Iowa will reach lake 
navigation at the port of Duluth by 
shorter Railroad transit than by the 
head of Lake Michigan, as is true 
also of a vast region extending to the 
Pacific Ocean. 

This circumstance will control the 
course of trade, since the commerce of 
Lakes Michigan and Superior, when 
eastward bound, meets in Lake Huron ; 
the navigation of the lakes being limi- 
ted by the simultaneous departure of 
ice from the St. Mary's River and the 
Straits of Mackinaw. Even San Fran- 
cisco and all the points of the Union 
Pacific Railroad are nearer Lake Su- 
perior at the harbor of Duluth, than to 
Lake Michigan at Chicago. 

The distance from San Francisco to 
Chicago, via Union Pacific Railroad, 
is 2,400 miles ; to Duluth by the Sioux 
City and Lake Superior and Missis- 
sippi Railroads, connecting with the 
above Road, is 2,300 miles, making a 
distance in favor of the Minnesota 
port of 100 Miles. 

The rapidity with which the vast 
region tributary to the Lake Superior 
and Mississippi Railroad, and to Lake 
Superior, will be settled and developed 
may be illustrated by the progress and 
development of the State of Minne- 
sota. This State was admitted into the 
Union in 1858, was unconnected with 
the east by Railways until the past three

years, but is now taking a prominent 
position as a producing State among 
the old States of the Union. This 
progress will appear from the follow- 
ing statements compiled in the De- 
partment of State, and repeated in the 
messages of Governor Marshall : —

Potatoes, bu.... 1,351,696 1,736,053 2,592,636 2,475,000 

These results, advancing in this 
large ratio, may be taken as legiti- 
mately illustrating the future progress 
in settlement and production of the 
country further west and northwest; 
as the development of the same follows 
the construction of the Lines of Rail- 
way now projected and being con- 
structed over this region. 

The opening of the Lake Superior 
and Mississippi Railroad having its 
terminus located at the extreme top of 
the Lake System, and the construction 
of the Northern Pacific Railroad from 
the same lake terminus, westward, as- 
sures the transportation of emigrants 
from Europe by this shortest, cheapest, 
and most healthy Route to Duluth as 
the great distributing point for the en- 
tire Northwest. These emigrants fol- 
lowing the Lines of the Railroads 
stretching out to the Pacific, cannot be 
diverted to points not tributary to Lake 
Superior, but must add from year to 
year to the vast and increasing product 
flowing and to flow by that cliannei to 
the eastern markets; and the time is 
not far distant when 20,000,000_ of 
people will occupy the territory tribu- 
tary to Lake Superior, — a large portion 



of whose products and wants must be 
transported by this Route. 

To sum u[) the whole matter: — Here 
is a territory, comprising portions of 
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Da- 
kota, rapidly increasing in population, 
— the present grain products of which 
are not less than 60,000,000 bushels, — a 
large jiercentage of wiiich must go over 
the Line of the Lake Superior and 
Mississippi Railroad, and all of which 
will eventually go by the chain of the 
Great Lakes to the markets of the East 
and of Europe. 

In estimating the value of the Lake 
Superior Route, the following facts 
should be carefully noted: — 

First: The time of propellers or 
sailing vessels from Duluth to Lake 
Erie ports, is frequently less from two 
to three days than from Chicago or 
Milwaukee to the same points. The 
movement of boats against the winds, 
across Lake Michigan, makes this dif- 
ference in time in favor of the boats 
that follow the currents to the head of 
Lake Superior. 

Second : The same rates on produce 
are got from Dnluth to points above 
named as from Chicago to Milwaukee, 
while as thus by the Lake Superior 
Route the Rail distance from St. Paul, 
or average point of production, being 
some 300 miles less, the through rate 
is necessarily considerably lower than 
the Route via Lake Michigan, 

These tacts entirely settle the ques- 
tion of transportation, and makes prom- 
inent the superior advantages possessed 
by the lands of this Company over 
those situated further westward, as the 
value of land depends not so much on 
the quality of the soil as on the facili- 
ties and cheapness with which the va- 
rious, products can be transported to 
market.

ACROSS THE CONTINENT. 



The Land Grant of the Company 
comprises nearly 1,700,000 acres of 
land, portions of which are covered 
with Pine and other valuable timber, 
and interspersed with prairie and na- 
tural meadows or grazing lands, and 
many contain deposits of valuable 
minerals; while at numerous points 
there is abundance of water-power for 
manufacturing purposes. 

The Pine lands will prove a source 
of large revenue to the Road, not only 
from receipts from stum page, but from 
the transportation of manufacturer's 
lumber and supplies, and from the 
travel necessarily arising from the lo- 
cation of the mills engaged in the busi- 
ness. Liberal inducements are offered 
by the Company to parties desiring to 
engage in the lumber business on the 
Line of the Road, and every facility 
will be afforded to make the business 
both permanent and profitable. 

The hard wood and prairie lands of 
the Company are equal to any in the 
northwest for the production of wheat, 
rye, oats and other grains, and all kinds 
of vegetables yield large crops, through- 
out this entire region. 

The meadow lands are for stock 
raising the most valuable in the State, 
and require but a small amount of 
drainage to render them of permanent 
value. These meadows produce from 
2 to 3J tons per acre of the most nu- 
tritious grasses, on which cattle will 
thrive during the entire winter without 
grain; while from numerous lakes and 
running streams abundance of the 
purest water can be obtained. 

These advantages, with the abun- 
dance of of timber from which strong, 
warm and substantial buildings can be 



erected, at a cost little exceeding the 
cutting and hauling of the timber, and 
the cheapness with which cattle and 
horses can be transported by Rail to 
Duluth, and by vessel to all points' 
along the Lake, with the development 
of the entire region traversed by the 
Road, as shown by the influx of popu- 
lation now rapidly covering the entire 
grant, and particularly of the manufac- 
turing sites along its Line, ensure such 
demand for stock of all kinds as can- 
not fail to make the business of stock- 
raising among the most profitable in 
the State. 

The farming and grazing lands of 
the Company are sold in tracts of 40 
acres and upwards, for cash or on long 
credit, at prices ranging from $2.50 to 
$8.00 per acre. A liberal reduction 
being made for entire cash payment. 

For instance: — 80 acres is sold on 
long time at $5.00 per acre, making 
$400; the payments would be as fol- 
lows: —

Hi, Paul and Pacific Kail- 
road, consolidated with the North- 
ern Pacific Kailroad, November 
25, 1870, consists of two divisions, — 
the Main Line, or First Division ex- 
tends from St. Paul to Breckinridge, 
Minnesota, 216 miles, with the right 
to extend the Line from Breckinridge, 
on the Red River of the North, to the 
boundary line between the United 
States and British America. 

The Second Division extends from 
St. Paul to Watab, Minnesota, a dis- 
tance of 80 miles, and will extend 
northwesterly on the west side of the 
Mississippi River, connecting with the 
Main Line of the Northern Pacific 
Railroad west of Crow Wing, and ex- 
tend on to the British border at Pem- 
bina, on the Red River, to the 49th 
parallel of latitude, — thus securing the 
carrying trade of British America. 

The purchased Lines have liberal 
land grants through the richest parts 
of Minnesota, which accrue to the 
Northern Pacific Railroad Company, 
and the completion of all the Lines 
will give the Northern Pacific Com- 
])any nearly nine hundred miles of 
Road in the State. 

IVorihern Pacific Rail- 
road. — The Act of Congress dona- 
ting lands for this Road, prescribes that 
it shall be laid north of the 45th par- 
allel of north latitude. Its termini 
are at Duluth, Minnesota, at the 
head of Lake Superior, and a point, 
not yet designated, on Puget Sound, 
with a Branch Road terminating at 
Portland, Oregon. The charter, as 
amended, authorizes the Company to 
construct a Branch Road, starting from 
"some convenient point" on the Trunk 
Line, across the Rocky Mountains, to 
Portland, and a Branch from Portland, 



northward, to the terminus on Puget 
Sound. These two Branch Roads are 
given (by amended charter) the same 
proportionate land grant as the Main 
Line, namely, 25,000 acres, per lineal 
mile of Road, through the Territories, 
and 12,800 acres, per lineal mile, 
through the organized States. The 
Main Branch Road will leave the Trunk 
Line somewhere near the junction of 
the Yellow Stone and IMissouri Rivers, 
following up the valley of the former 
stream, through Deer Lodge Pass, and 
then down the Snake and Columbia 
Rivers to Portland, Oregon. 

Estimated length of Main Line, 
connecting the navigation of the Great 
Lakes with the commerce of the Pa- 
cific Ocean, 1,775 miles; probable 
length of Trunk Line and Branches, 
2,300 miles. The total amount of land 
to which the Northern Pacific Rail- 
road is entitled, by its grant, is about 
sixiy million acres, almost entirely fertile, 
with a salubrious climate, being capa- 
ble of sustaining a dense population. 
The Winter months are comparatively 
mild, with but a small fall of snow, 
while the Summer months are warm 
and favorable for the growth of the 
cereals, grasses, and vegetables of al- 
most every variety. 

" The lands are within the parallels 
of latitude which in Europe and Asia 
embrace the most enlightened, crea- 
tive, conquering and progressive popu- 
lations. They lie within the climatic 
conditions of the isothermal lines of 
mean annual temperature, (50° to 52° 
Fahr.,) which mark on the Pacific 
Coast in latitude 47° north the mild- 
ness of the climate of the Chesapeake 
Bay, on the Atlantic side in lati- 
tude 88°, and which give to the re- 
gion of this Railroad between the Red 
River of the North and the Pacific a 



106 



ACROSS THE CONTINENT. 



milder atmosphere, (at the same alti- 
tude) than is to be found anywhere 
else at the same distance from the 
Equator, except upon the western 
coast of Europe." 

By the purchase of the St. Paul and 
Pacific Eailroad, the Northern Pacific 
E-ailroad controls the entire Railroad 
traffic in tlie "New Northwest," and 
connects with the Railways of Wiscon- 
sin and Illinois, as well with the navi- 
gable waters of the Mississippi River 
and Lake Superior. 

The work was begun in July, 1870, 
on the eastern portion of the Line, and 
the money provided, by the sale to 
stockholders of some six millions of 



the Company's bonds, to build and 
equip the Road from Lake Superior 
across Minnesota to the Red River of 
the North, 232 miles. The grading 
on this division is now well advanced, 
the iron is being rapidly laid ; several 
thousand men are at work on the Line, 
and about the first of August next this 
important section of the Road will be 
in full operation. In the meantime 
orders have been sent to the Pacific 
coast for the commencement of the work 
on the western end in early Spring of 
1871, and thereafter the work will be 
pushed, both eastward and westward, 
with as much speed as may be consis- 
tent with solidity and a wise economy.

Projected Railroad from 
Cheyenne to Helena, Montana. — 
The Union Pacific Eaieroad and the 
Denver Pacific Kaileoad, uniting 
at Cheyenne, Wyoming Territory, has 
indnced the inhabitants of this new 
territory to look toward the north with 
the view of constructing an important 
Line of Railroad, the extreme northern 
terminus being Helena, Montana. 

" The object is primarily to develop a 
wonderfully rich section of imoccupicd 
country, and afterwards to give Chey- 
enne a connection with the Northern 
Pacific Railroad, rapidly stretching 
away from Duluth on the East and 
creeping out from Olympia at the West. 
The project exhibits the enterpri^^e 
and wisdom of the inhabitants of 
Cheyenne, who, in this instance, find 
their greatest good in assisting to de- 
velop the country tributary to them. 
This Indian named town is directly 
connected with St. Louis by the Kan- 
sas Pacific and Denver Pacific Rail- 
roads. The Montana Railroad scheme 
which is now agitating its citizens, pro- 
mises abundantly, and there is no rea- 
son, apparently, why the anticipations 
of its projectors should not be fulfilled. 
The proposed Route from Cheyenne — 
and here our readers are requested to 
consult their atlases — would extend up 
the Valley of the Crow Creek to the 
base of the Black Hills, then turning 
northward pass along the parallel 
Valley that seems designed by nature 
for a Railroad to the Chug Valley; 
thence down this Valley to some point 
near its junction with the Big Laramie, 
thence across the plains to the Valley of 
the North Platte, and up that stream to 
the Red Buttes. From this point it 
will not be difficult, it is claimed, to find 
an easy Route across the eastern base of 
the Big Horn Mountains, when it will 



pass through some of the most fertile 
and attractive Valleys of the West. 
The Line should then skirt the base of 
the mountains and extend to some 
point on the Yellowstone near the 
mouth of the Big Horn River. The 
principal obstacles are here passed, 
and the connection with the Main 
Branch of the Northern Pacific will be 
determined without difliculty. 

Such a Road, we are informed, would 
open up to settlement a vast extent of 
country similar in many respects to 
the best portions of Colorado, and a 
section containing hundreds of thou- 
sands of acres of unclaimed land of 
the greatest fertility. The climate is 
so mild, and the season so delightful, 
that ready credence is given to the 
statement of the resident Indians, who 
affirm that the Great Spirit gave them 
this tract, the best and richest of his 
possessions, because they are a favored 
people. Cattle need no other shelter 
in Winter than the deep valleys afibrd. 
Iron and copper and magnetic ores 
abound in the mountains, and undis- 
covered minerals enrich the earth. 
Colonization scliemes will be employed 
to rapidly populate the region, and 
hasten the development of its wealth." 

Southern Pacific Rail- 
road. — This projected Railroad, 
chartered by the State of Texas, July 
27, 1870, to " Incorporate the Southern 
Trascontinental Railroad Com- 
pany," with a capital of $30,000,000, 
will commence at the eastern boundary 
of Texas, and extend westAvard to El 
Paso, on the Rio Grande, with a privi- 
lege to construct Branch Roads, con- 
necting with the great Railroads termi- 
nating on the sea-board. The Com- 
pany is also authorised to purchase 
the rights, franchises and proj)erty of 



108 



ACROSS THE CONTINENT. 



the Memphis and El Paso Pacific Eail- 
road Company, and of any other Com- 
pany, incorporated by any other State, 
or by the United States or any Terri- 
tory, so that it may have a complete 
and continuous connection from the 
Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. 

" All the other Pacific Lines are in 
the hands of Northern and Western 
men, and are operated ahnost exclu- 
sively in the interest of the North and 
West. But here is one entirely South- 
ern, extending, by its amended charter, 
from Memphis, Tennessee, to Little 
Rock, Arkansas; thence to Jefferson, 
Texas, and thence along the Route 
above designated to the town and bay 
of San Diego. Tlie Transcontinental 
Company is already organized under 
a State charter, granted by the Legisla- 
ture of Texas, and will soon begin 
practical operations through that par- 



tially undeveloped empire Common- 
wealth. The Texas Branch is about 
800 miles in length. The Company's 
franchise over this enormous distance 
is wholly distinct from that of Con- 
gress, though additional or precedent 
thereto. It is impossible to over-esti- 
mate or even to describe the advan- 
tages of this Transcontinental Rail- 
road, politically, commercially, and 
financially. Traversing the moderate 
zone, where winter is almost unknown, 
it will open up what many claim to 
be the richest region of our country, 
and what all concede to be the most 
magnificent cotton field in the world. 
Its wealth in minerals and agriculture; 
its neighborhood to Mexico, soon to 
be revolutionized by the arts of peace; 
its easier and short access to the two 
Oceans, will speedily arouse a univer- 
sal interest in its behalf."

BURLINQTON RAILROAD ROUTE, 




THE BURLINGTON & MISSOURI RIVER RAILROAD, 

Starting from Burlington, Iowa, is a tree wliose trunk forks into three 
branches, for it has three Western termini, each one of which is the represen- 
tative of a distinctive class of Business, or separate class of Travel. Its first 
terminus is at 

COilNCiL BLbWS, OR OMAHA, 

where it connects with the Union Pacific Eailroad, for all points on the Pacific 
Koads and Pacific Coast, and it is now generally conceded that this is the 
best Koute to these points. Its next terminus is at 

Ij I isT o o L isr, 

the capital of Nebraska, fifty-five miles West of the Missouri Kiver, (crossing 
the River at Plattsraouth,) opening up a rich country lying South of the Platte, 
where half a million dollars worth of Railroad Lands were sold last summer, 
and being indeed the only Direct Route thereto. Its third terminus is at 

HAMBURG AND NEBRASKA CJTY. 

At Hamburg, its Passenger Trains, (two each way, daily,) make close connec- 
tions with the trains of the 

KpSAS CITY & COUNCIL BLUFFS RAILROJ^D, 

for St. Joseph, Leavenworth, Kansas City, and all points in the Territories. 
In this regard it may be truly said that the passenger travelling from the East 
to Kansas, via Burlington, obtains advantages that he can find on no other Line, 
for he not only travels over a First-Class Road, splendidly equipped, where 
he is sure of safety and comfort while en route to his destination, but he has an 
opportunity of viewing the richest portions of Illinois and Missouri, as well 
as several hundred thousand acres of Railroad Land in Southwestern Iowa, just 
now coming into market at low prices and long credit. 

ig^* To passengers bound Westward, for any of these points, no better 
advice can be given than 

"Take the Burlington Route."

IN 

CENTRAL /ND SOUTHWEST MISSOURI, 

Offered for Cash, or on Seven Years Credit, at 

FROM $3.00 T0 $15.00 PEE ACRE, 

— BY THE — 

ATLANTIC & PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY, 

EMBRACING THE 

SOUTH PAOIFIO RAILROAD. 



The State of Missouri, more than any other in the Union, contains the ma- 
terials that constitute wealth. It is one-and-a-half times the size of the 
State of New York, and more than eight times that of Massachusetts. It is in 
the centre of the Mississippi Valley, near the heart of the Continent, and its 
metropolis, St. Louis, naturally, the half-way station between the Oceans. 

The Climate is the golden mean of the Temperate Zone ; its salubrity is pro- 
verbial — especially in the centre and southwestern portions — where the elevation 
above the ocean produces all the vitality of a more Northern latitude, while 
none of the Southern advantages are lost. Consumption and asthmatic com- 
plaints seldom or never originate here, but are often cured by this climate. 

The Easterly portions of the State, through which the Railroad passes, 
including the Ozark range of hills, is broken, but of good soil, and has many 
excellent farms in the valleys, with extensive ranges for flocks and herds upon 
the higher land. This extends over 100 miles from St. Louis, when small 
prairies and a smoother country begin to appear. 

The Central and Southwestern portion of the State, extending about 150 
miles, easterly and westerly, cannot be excelled in beauty and fertility. The 
136 



dead level of trackless prairies is not found here, nor stagnant creeks and 
muddy pools. Instead of these are hill and dale and rolling prairies, frequent 
streams, and rapidly running water, over rocky bottoms, with numerous water- 
falls and springs of clear, pure water. 

The principal productions are corn, wheat, rye, barley, oats, flax, hemp, 
sorghum, tobacco, cotton, vegetables, and an abundance of all kinds of fruit. 

The Southwestern portion of the State, with its mild Winters, late Falls, and 
early Springs, is peculiarly adapted to Stock-Kaising of all kinds ; blue grass 
grows spontaneously, and all tame grasses rapidly, and in abundance. By the 
aid of the Eailroad, cattle in the Western counties are now worth within four 
dollars a head of what they are worth in St. Louis. 

The production of wool is large, and increasing with marked rapidity. 
Woolen factories would be a profitable investment upon the water powers now 
unoccupied. 

Missouri can challenge the World in variety, value, and extent of mineral 
wealth. A long catalogue would alone suffice to enumerate the difierent metals. 
Tliey pervade more or less the whole State. 

Timber is abundant, and so accessible as not to be extremely costly at 
any point. 

As to Schools, few States are more awake than Missouri, and none more 
amply supplied with pecuniary provisions.

UEW 7-30 GOLD LOAIT 



OF THE ABOVE COMPANY 



Secured by Fii|_st Moptgage on Railroad and Land Grant. 



Bmie / PrQiMmMe / Peemmmemt I 



"We oflfer for sale, at Par and accrued Interest, 

THE FIRST MORTGAGE LAND GRANT GOLD BONDS OF THE NORTHERN 
PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY. 

THEY ARE FREE FROM UNITED STATES TAX, AND ARE ISSUED OF THE 
FOLLOWING DENOMINATIONS : 



Coopons, $1110, Ul and 



$100, $500, $1000, $5000, and $10,000. 



With the same entire confidence with 
which we commended Government 
Bonds to Capitalists and People, we 
now, after the fullest investigation, 
recommend these Northern Pacific 
Railroad Bonds to our friends and 
the general public. 

GOLD PAYMENT.— Both prin- 
cipal and interest are payable in 
American gold coin, at the ofiice of 
Jay Cooke & Co., New York City,— 
the principal at the end of 30 years, 
and the interest (at the rate of seven 



and three-tenths per cent, per annum) 
half-yearly, first of January and July. 

PERFECT SAFETY.— The Bonds 
we are now selling, are secured by a 
first and only mortgage on all the 
property and rights of the Northern 
Pacific Railroad Company, which will 
embrace on the completion of the 
work : — 

1. Over Two Thousand Miles of 
Eoad, with rolling stock, buildings, 
and all other equipments. 

141 



2. Over Twenty-two Thousand 
Acres of Land to every mile of fin- 
ished road. This land, — agricultural, 
timbered and mineral, — amounting in 
all to more than Fifty Million Acres, 
consists of alternate sections, reaching 
twenty to forty miles on each side of 
the Track, and extending in a broad 
fertile belt from Wisconsin through 
the richest portions of Minnesota, 
Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Oregon and 
"Washington, to Puget Sound. 

While the Government does not 
directly guarantee the Bonds of the 
Eoad, it thus amply provides for their 
full and prompt payment by an un- 
reserved grant of land, the most valu- 
able ever conferred upon a great 
National improvement. 

THE MORTGAGE.— The Trustees 
under the Mortgage, are Messrs. Jay 
Cooke of Philadelphia, and J. Edgar 
Thompson, President of the Pennsyl- 
vania Central Railroad Company. 
They will directly and permanently 
represent the interests of the First 
Mortgage bond-holders, and are re- 
quired to see that the 'proceeds of land 
sales are used in purchasing and cancel- 
ling the Bonds of the Company, if they 
can be bought before maturity at not 
more than 10 per cent, premium; 
otherwise the Trustees are to invest 
the proceeds of land sales in United 
States Bonds or Real Estate Mortga- 
ges for further security of Northern 
Pacific bond-holders. Also, that they 
have at all times in their control, as 
security, at least 500 acres of average 
142 



land to every $1,000 of outstanding 
First Mortgage Bonds, besides the Rail- 
road itself, and all its equipments and 
franchises. 

PROFITABLENESS.— Of course 
nothing can be safer than the Bonds of 
the United States, but as the Govern- 
ment is no longer a borrower, and as 
the Nation's present work is not that 
of preserving its existence, but that 

of DEVELOPING A CONTINENT, we 

remind those who desire to increase 
their income and obtain a more . per- 
manent investment, while still having 
a perfectly reliable security, that : — 

United States 5-20's at their average 
premium yield the present purchaser 
less than 5J per cent, gold interest. 
Should they be redeemed in five years, 
and specie payments be resumed, they 
would really pay only 4f per cent., or 
if in three years, only SJ per cent., as 
the present premium would mean- 
while be sunk. 

Northern Pacific 7-30's, selling at 
par in currency, yield the investor 
7-^Q per cent, gold interest, absolutely, 
for thirty years, free from United, States 
tax. $1,100 currency, invested now in 
United States 5-20's, will yield per 
year in gold, say, $62.00. $1,100 cur- 
rency, invested now in Northern Paci- 
fic 7-30's, will yield per year in gold, 
$80.30. Here is a difference in annual 
income of nearly one-third, besides a 
difference of 7 to 10 per cent, in prin- 
cipal, when both classes of Bonds are 
redeemed. 



THE ROAD NOW BUILDING.— 

Work was begun in July last on the 
eastern portion of the Line, and the 
money provided, by the sale to stock- 
holders of some six millions of the 
Company's Bonds, to build and equip 
the Eoad from Lake Superior across 
Minnesota to the Eed River of the 
North— 233 miles. The grading on 
this division is now well advanced, 
the iron is being rapidly laid ; several 
thousand men are at work on the 
Line, and about the first of August 
next this important section of the 
Road will be in full operation. In the 
meantime, orders have been sent to 
the Pacific coast for the commencement 
of the work on the western end, in 
early spring, and thereafter the work 
will be pushed, both eastward and 
westward, with as much speed as may 
be consistent with solidity and a wise 
economy. 

RECEITABLE FOR LANDS.— 

These Bonds will be at all times re- 
ceivable, at 1.10, in payment for the 
Company's lands, at their lowest cash 
price. 



BONDS EXCHANGEABLE.— 

The registered bonds can be exchang- 
ed at any time for coupons, the cou- 
pons for registered, and both these can 
be exchanged for others, pay able — prin- 
cipal and interest— at any of the prin- 
cipal financial centres of Europe, in 
the coin of the various European 
countries. 

HOW TO GET THEM.— Your 

nearest bank or banker will supply 
these Bonds in any desired amount* 
and of any needed denomination. 
Persons wishing to exchange stocks or 
other bonds for these, can do so with 
any of our agents, who will allow the 
highest current price for all market- 
able securities. 

Those living in localities remote 
from banks, may send money, or other 
Bonds, directly to us by express, and 
we will send back Northern Pacific 
Bonds at our own risk, and without 
cost to the investor. For further in- 
formation, pamphlets, maps, etc., call 
on, or address the undersigned, or any 
of the banks or bankers employed 
to sell this Loan.
